While the rest of the college football world is kicking off its seasons this weekend, Kansas State will be playing its second game of the season following its loss to No. 22 Iowa State in Dublin. That loss was certainly tough on this team and one that stung, especially with how close it was.
Kansas State struggled with the elements in Dublin, along with losing a key offensive member in Dylan Edwards very early on in the game. While head coach Chris Klieman doubled down on his choice to go for it on fourth down on Kansas State's own 29 yards, ultimately, the Wildcats can go back and change anything and have to move forward.
A good bounce-back game against North Dakota in front of their home crowd is exactly what this team needs right now.
